Volume V: White Co., Ga. Volume VI: Banks Co., Ga. I am currently working on Volume VII of Jackson Co. Hopefully will be in print by the end of the Summer.

Hello Kay, I have a Mary YOUNG (1868-1898) who married Rozell I. BURROUGHS (1859-?) in August, 1885. I can send you more information, or you can check out the worldconnect.rootsweb.com/ website, using my database ID crcesc. Click on the index for 'Y' and you will find Mary Young and what information I have on her descendants, those who are deceased. If this is 'your' line, let me know and I'll check my notes to find other researchers and see if I can provide some additional information on living relatives. Incidentally the name 'Seaborn' does appear (as a given name) in my line. Regards, Rick Elliott San Jose CA
Hello everyone. I just joined the list and am looking for any info on the YOUNG surname or anyone researching the YOUNG'S from Madison County. There was a YOUNG family there as early as 1820. Seaborn Hamilton YOUNG was born there in 1828. His father was William "Billy" YOUNG-Born-1803. Any info on YOUNG will be most appriciated. Thank You, Kay
Mary and all: Mary, I viewed your web site and see that you have a lot of GUEST names. I have 41 GUEST names 1 BRAGG in Cannon Co., TN (marr. Margaret D. TOLBERT not listed at the web site and not my line yet) and 15 JACKSONs at my web site: http://back40.bizland.com/web/ancestors/mykin/index3.htm#Guest This is an index page and it is large so it loads slow. Give the page time to load to see all the names. I hope there will be others who can connect to my GUEST lines. So far, I have not connected to Mary's GUEST line (mine is earlier) but I do have 3 Benjamin GUEST names and some others who could be related. I feel that there is probably a connection from Franklin to Madison Co., GA since Madison was formed from parts of Franklin. My lines are dotted throughout with AYERS and BLAIR connections who were also in Habersham Co., GA. My GUESTs were primarily in Franklin Co., GA and went to TX. Here are a few of my notes on Capt. Moses GUEST: Capt. Moses GUEST was born in Fauquier Co., VA 1750 and died in Franklin Co., GA in 1837. He enlisted in Wilkes Co., NC; removed to Pendleton, SC; served as a Capt. He received a pension for his service as a Rev. Soldier while a resident of Franklin Co., GA. Moses married Mary BLAIR, who survived him, and received a pension. Their children: Sanford, Susanna, Morgan, William, Moses Jr., John, Hall, Nathaniel, Cobb, Burton Giles, Elizabeth, Mary, Celia who married Archibald COCKBURN, Cynthia, Susan, Annie. For these records see: National #70283 of Mrs. Chas. Walker who joined the Atlanta Chapter of D.A.R. on record of Capt. Moses GUEST. Also see these same records on pgs. 78-79 of "Roster of Revolutionary Soldiers in Georgia" by Mr. H.H. McCall. "Card Catalog", at Dept. of Archives and History, Peachtree St., Atlanta, GA carry the following: "Moses GUEST P.P., Franklin County, January 2, 1809. Sheriff of Franklin County March 21, 1786." Madison Co., GA was created in 1811 from parts of Elbert, Franklin, Jackson and Oglethorpe Counties. !SOURCE: B.H.A.F by Smallwood... !SOURCE: Received data and FGC for Moses' father, William, and siblings from Bill L. GUEST. He is the author of "Compendium of Guest-Guess Descendants of William Guest, Sr." I have a line of Moses GUEST and first wife Mary BLAIR; Bill states in his FGS that sometime after 1757 and prior to 1762, William Guest, Sr. and wife, Susannah, moved his family from Prince William Co., VA to Frederick Co., VA. About 1769, the family moved again from Frederick Co., VA to Surry (Wilkes) Co., NC. Again in 1785 William moved his family from Wilkes Co., NC to SC. !SOURCE: The Land of Wilkes by Hayes, Publisher: Wilkes Co. Historical Society 1962. Data from Bill L.

The estate settlement papers were filed in October 1822 in Madison County, and were recorded Oct. 17, 1822, in Book B-C-D, p 266-268. GEORGIA, Madison Co.

We also further agree that the two beds & furniture already excepted shall be given up unto the hands of said Winneford Carrington widow of said deceased to have and to use as her own right and property during her natural life & at her death to despose [sic] of in any way or manner she may think proper.

Test: Signed Stephen Smith Burrell Orr David Evans JP Signed: Winnifred Carrington Daniel Carrington Henson Carrington Sally Carrington Osborn Carrington Winnifred Thompson William Carrington Micajah Carrington Thomas J. Nash Recorded 17th October 1822. (For some reason, John Carrington's name was left off of the last portion of this document.) Children listed in birth order with the following exceptions: As was the custom of the times, Thomas J. Nash signed on behalf of his wife, Mary "Polly" Carrington (the tenth child ). Daughter and sixth child Winny's husband, Alexander Thompson, had either abandoned his family or died by this time. Second child, Nancy Carrington, was not mentioned in either document nor did she sign either one; therefore, she must have died before her father did.

Dear Holley, My interest in the Hamptons lies in a family tree worksheet I am doing for my own benefit on early Madison Co families. I don't think I am actually related to any Hamptons, thus none are on my family site. As for Maysville, there are no Hamptons buried in the cemetery. My book is still available for $15, S&H included, however it may be of no use to you as far as Hamptons go. I checked my database of Maysville Socials from old newspapers and found the following. I guess you already know that there was a LARGE family of Hamptons from Madison Co GA. One doctor named HJ Hampton practiced in Maysville. I have only transcribed old newspaper records between 1878 and 1884, so if your Hampton relative was born in 1894 in Maysville, I have not gotten that far along in the records at this time. 1878-0216 FN (Forest News): Dr. HJ HAMPTON has located in our vicinity. He is such a nice young physician. We hope him much success in our midst. 1880-0730 FN: Drs. Alexander and HAMPTON both seem to be getting a liberal practice. 1881-0506 JH (Jackson Herald): The demand for houses has been so great that Dr. HAMPTON is making arrangements to put up three more immediately. 1883-0209 JH: Phil Simmons, his brother, Mrs. Simmons, Mrs. Chapman, of Gainesville, and Miss Mollie HAMPTON, of Madison County, were among our visitors last week. 1883-0216 JH: Miss Mollie HAMPTON returned home last Sunday. ----- Original Message ----- From: Holley <hjrtysamaki@yahoo.com> To: <haven@alltel.net> Sent: Sunday, April 30, 2000 17:08 Subject: maysville cemetery records > Hi,I was just wondering if copies of the maysville > cemetery records are still available?
